ForexTerms explains Primary Trend
The primary trend is considered to be the fundamental trend, and is believed to be driven by factor affecting the underlying economies rather than by short-term trading. The primary trend is more powerful than temporary secondary trends. Although the primary trend is easy to spot on a long term chart after it is established, it can be hard for traders to see on a day-to-day basis due to market noise.
